Inevitable death

It was a nice morning, the sun was bright but not too bright and all that could be heard was footsteps and rustling of bushes.

But even in this bright day, the emperor, had alot of work and was unable to enjoy the day. He was looking through the candidates of personal knights for his adopted son, Kim Dokja.

The emperor sighed, not finding anything that could be of help with his situation. None of the candidates were enough, Lee Hyungsung was great but he was the captain of the knights and therefore, too busy. Jung Heewon was perfect too but she was the vice captain.

"And scandals will arise if he had a female knight... Ha.. this is seriously difficult."

"Umm your highness, would it be all right for me to suggest something?"

"Yes go on, if it's anything useful that is."

"There's a new knight who excels at knighthood. He's a great candidate as far as I know"

"Is that so? Why didn't Lee Hyungsung tell me so.."

"Ah he mentioned for me to tell you! Since the day this knight had showed up was when you were busy at foreign works."

"Then why did you not TELL ME SO?? I've been in this room for so long only for you to tell me now???"

"Ah, I really apologise your highness!" The emperor's helper bowed frantically.

"Ha! Fine whatever, bring me this New Knight! Let me see what he got."

After a series of event, this new knight, had passed as the perfect candidate.

He wasn't busy, great at work, and his etiquette was amazing too! It's almost as if the gods had heard the emperor's prayers and bestowed this seemingly perfect godlike man.

He had won the emperor's approval in what seemed like minutes but was actually an hour, which was short compared to the usual personal knight election.

Now, the butler was showing Yoo Joonghyuk, the knight, to Crown Prince's room. Once the task was done, the butler left quietly.

Yoo Joonghyuk knocked on the door, making his presence aware to the person at the opposing side. Rustling and crashing was heard and the door quickly opened.

"Yes?"

"..."

"Ah..you must be my knight!" Kim Dokja beamed, ignoring the lack of response. Yoo Joonghyuk nodded.

"I'm Kim Dokja!"

"I'm aware"

"Well hello aware" Kim Dokja swiftly replied, slightly laughing at his own joke.

Yoo Joonghyuk however, didn't laugh.

"..."

"What's your name?" Kim Dokja asked, a little disappointed that Yoo Joonghyuk didn't laugh.

"Yoo Joonghyuk"

"Well Yoo Joonghyuk, I'll be in your care"

"Mhm"

That was how the two of them first met.

Kim Dokja, who had never met the man before and Yoo Joonghyuk, who had heard of Kim Dokja several times to the point the name is engraved in his head.

Kim Dokja found Yoo Joonghyuk fun to talk to, even though the man had never replied to him or just nodded. Kim Dokja found it amusing how he was being ignored.

Yoo Joonghyuk found Kim Dokja annoying, the man kept pestering him all the time for a reply. He did find it suprising how the crown prince never gave up but he didn't give much thought to it. He had to focus, he shouldn't get carried away and get too close to the crown prince.
